Senate Bill 1421 advanced out of committee this week with unanimous support — but what does it (or could it if it becomes law) actually change?
Ryan Welton sits down with Brandy Torres-DeMark, founder of the Our Kids Deserve Better Coalition, to break down the bill’s purpose and process.
In this episode:
• What SB 1421 would codify into law
• Why the bill has no fiscal impact
• How trauma-informed standards could reduce long-term costs
• What bipartisan cooperation looks like behind the scenes
• Concerns about “more training” in an already overwhelmed system
• What happens next on the Senate floor
Brandy also discusses the Great American Reset Experiment, a nonpartisan effort encouraging Americans to commit to voting through 2030.
